Doubts
Job
of

Is

WASHINGTON
(UP
—
President
Eisenhower's
bouncy
recovery
from
a
mild
stroke
probably
makes
it
all
right
to
mention
the
fact
that
this
business
about
the
presidency
being
a
man-killing
job
is
mostly
hokum.
Six
•
presidents
have
died
in
office,
three
of
them
by
gunshot.
The
average
age
was
68
years,
might
close
to
the
alloted
three
score
and
ten.
The
survival
age
•
after
leaving
office
is
around
14
years,
as
of
now.
The
man-killer
myth
is
founded
partly
on
the
self-pity
of
some
presidents
during
and
after
their
terms
of
office.
Your
correspond
ent
began
observing
presidents
closely
when
Calvin
Coolidge
was
in
office
and
had
a
peek
or
two
at
Wcodrow
Wilson
before
that.
He
has
seen
presidents
who
were
having
their
bad
clays
or
weeks.
But
so
do
golfers,
ball
players
and
plain
working
stiffs
have
had
bad
days
and
weeks.
Some
of
them
die
comparatively
young.
FDR
Needed
Rest
FDR
didn't
look
so
good
toward
the
last,
but
he
was
full
of
boom
clear
through
his
second
term.
Mr.
Big
was
around
considerably
longer
than
most
and
sought
a
fourth
nomination
when
he
would
have
been
better
advised
to
seel:
hospital
rest.
Counting
the
pay,
the
loose
hours
and
fringe
benefits,
the
presidency
is
not
a
bad
job
at
all.
Plenty
of
selfless
patriots
always
are
eyeing
the
White
House.
There
isn't
one
among
them
who
would
be
likely
to
grab
for
a
job
•which
really
killed.
Presidents
are
not
the
only
public
officials
who.get
to
feeling
sorry
for
themselves.
Members
of
Congress
get
the
blues,
especially
j
Senators,
being
generally
older.
Sometimes,
when
a
Senator
passes
on
you
would
think
he
had
been
taking
all
of
his
meals
at
his
desk,
and
sleeping
on
it.
to
boot,
to
hear
his
colleagues
tell
it.
There
hasn't
been
so
much
of
that
since
Sen.
Royal
S.
Copeland
(D-N.Y.)
departed.
Copeland
was
a
medical
doctor.
It
was
his
custom
to
sound
off
considerably
back
in
the
20's
and
30's
when
a
colleague
died.
It
always
was
overwork,
although
in
some
instances
it
easily
could
have
been
bootleg
liquor,
over-eating
or
other
ovisr-indulgence.
A
former
Republican
governor
of
Pennsylvania
suggested
to
your
correspondent
in
London,
Eng.,
on
Aug.
3,
1923
that
the
death
of
Warren.
Gamaliel
Harding
the
previous
day
probably
could
be
attributed
to
bad
whisky.
There
is
no
evidence,
however,
that
Harding
eviir
had
to
cope
with
really
bad
hooch.
Copeland
Could
Act
Copeland
held
always
thai
it
was
overwork
that
killed
senators,
and
he
would
put
on
quite
a
show.
He
did
it
over
the
years
and
held
his
audiences
until
the
day
he
proposed
to
do
something
about
it.
Copeland
wanted
to
mak«i
Senate
working
conditions
better.
To
start,
he
wanted
to
knock
out
the
wall
back
of
the
presiding
officer,
extending
the
Senate
chamber
through
the
marble
room
to
an
outside
wall
of
glass.
"Let
the
sunlight
in
upon
us,"
Copeland
declaimed.
"Let
the
sunlight
in."
The
late
Sen.
Claude
Swanson
(D-Va.)
at
once
endorsed
the
project
subject
to
solution
of
this
!
problem
which
he
put
to
Copeland:
j
"How
will
you
compel
the
sun
to
shine
in
from
the
north?"
